Biography
Bonifatius was born in 560 AD in Naples to a family of Romans, and he was consecrated as pope in 619. Boniface made churches refuges for criminals, and he slew Exarch Eleutherius of Ravenna (a Byzantine usurper) when he marched on Rome. He was known for his great love for the clergy, and he also had affectionate concern for the Church of England, which he did much to build.
